# `/sys/plugins/catalog`
The `/sys/plugins/catalog` endpoint is used to read, register, update, and
remove plugins in Vault's catalog. Plugins must be registered before use, and
once registered backends can use the plugin by querying the catalog.
## LIST plugins
This endpoint lists the plugins in the catalog by type.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :--------------------- |
| `GET` | `/sys/plugins/catalog` |
### Sample request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/plugins/catalog
```
### Sample response
```json

## LIST plugins
This endpoint lists the plugins in the catalog by type.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :------------------------------ |
| `LIST` | `/sys/plugins/catalog/auth` |
| `LIST` | `/sys/plugins/catalog/database` |
| `LIST` | `/sys/plugins/catalog/secret` |
### Sample request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request LIST
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/plugins/catalog/auth
```
### Sample response
```json
{
"data": {
"keys": [
"aws",
"azure",
"custom-auth-plugin",
"gcp",
"ldap"
]
}
}
```
## Register plugin
This endpoint registers a new plugin, or updates an existing one with the
supplied name.
- **`sudo` required**  This endpoint requires `sudo` capability in addition to
any path-specific capabilities.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :--------------------------------- |
| `POST` | `/sys/plugins/catalog/:type/:name` |
### Parameters
- `name` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the name for this plugin. The name
is what is used to look up plugins in the catalog. This is part of the request
URL. Enterprise plugin names must match the name listed on the
[HashiCorp releases page](https://releases.hashicorp.com/)
- `type` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the type of this plugin. May be
"auth", "database", or "secret".
- `oci_image` `(string: "")` - Specifies OCI image to run. If specified, setting `command`,
`args`, and `env` will update the container's entrypoint, args, and environment
variables (append-only) respectively.
- `runtime` `(string: "")` - Specifies Vault plugin runtime to use if `oci_image` is specified.
See [/sys/plugins/runtimes/catalog](/vault/api-docs/system/plugins-runtimes-catalog) for additional information.
- `version` `(string: "")` - Specifies the semantic version of the plugin. Used as the tag
when specifying `oci_image`, but with any leading 'v' trimmed.
- `sha256` `(string: <required>)`  The SHA256 sum of a Community plugin
binary or the OCI image. Before a plugin is run, its SHA will be checked against this value.
If the actual SHA of the plugin binary and the SHA provided in `sha256` do not match, Vault will not run the plugin. The `sha256` parameter is only required for Community plugins. Enterprise plugins do not require SHA confirmation.
- `command` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the command used to execute the
plugin. This is relative to the plugin directory. e.g. `"myplugin"`, or if `oci_image`
is also specified, it is relative to the image's working directory.
The `command` parameter is only required for Community plugins as
the run command is known for Enterprise plugins.
- `args` `(array: [])` Specifies the arguments used to execute the plugin. If
the arguments are provided here, the `command` parameter should only contain
the named program. e.g. `"--my_flag=1"`.
- `env` `(array: [])` Specifies the environment variables used during the
execution of the plugin. Each entry is of the form "key=value". e.g
`"FOO=BAR"`.
